Hi there

Hi there

Hi,

I've signed up here on a whim as I am currently in the middle of a pretty major anxiety flare and nothing I usually do is working.. I've had to recommence therapy, I've had a pretty traumatic year (albeit there's been some highs). But most recently it all stems to tearing my lisfranc (midfoot) ligament during a fall back at the end of August. I've been off work since this time and have had to learn to walk again, I've just begun walking again with physio,

I've also had two stomach ulcers, that led to a gastro bleed and a blood transfusion, and again I've recently had near syncope episodes and ended up in the er with tacchycardia... that was the final straw. Now I'm constantly living in fight and flight... I want to regain my enjoyment of life again... and now I've just found out my iron levels are severely low... I feel like I cannot get respite...

I hope this might help me get out of my head and feel less constricted

@Rosepetal96 hi, welcome to the forums!!

Wow, you have had a very intense year indeed! Honestly I think having to learn to walk again would shake anyone to their core. Adjusting to life again after so many difficulties with your health is definitely gonna take some time; I think it's understandable to be experiencing a lot of that fight/flight tension.

I'm glad you decided to offload a bit here, and I hope it has helped you feel a little lighter. The community is here for you hun 💜

@Jynx , thank you so much. It's been insane 😫 but I am at least grateful my foot is responding to pyhsio, and I can begin to walk again. Letting it off my chest has definitely helped somewhat. At this time I'm doing every trick under the sun to see what works. And I am glad i found this forum, it's good to know I am not alone ☺️
